Kitchen/Food Prep

About the Role

At Café Zupas, we like to say it’s slow food served fast. Our house-made and globally-inspired soups, salads, sandwiches, and desserts are made with real, whole food that is prepared daily on-site, in-site in our kitchens. We believe our team’s hospitality is the key to what makes our concept so incredible.

We opened our first location back in 2004. Today we have over 85 kitchens across 8 states and are continuing to quickly join more communities each year. Become part of a collaborative group that values teamwork above all else. As a company, we continue to innovate, challenge the norm in the restaurant space and create a place where our team and guests feel energized.
